Due to operational shortcomings somewhere, this is a repeat sending
of my message of 02/09/2005:
An interesting connection from the US "Architecture Week":
"An individual hurricane is an act of nature. How tragically ironic
that just as the United States is reeling from Katrina's awful smash,
the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is working
to strike the words "respect for nature," among others, from a
harmless listing of the world's basic values."

Yes, "this is America" as well -
